About La Romanita Restaurant and Privato Lounge

La Romanita Restaurant and Privato Lounge blends Cuban and Italian traditions into a single menu, serving dishes like churrasco, risotto, croquetas, and vaca frita pizza in Hialeah's Amelia District. The space is cozy and upscale with a bar, live music, and romantic lighting that make it popular for date nights, birthdays, and anniversaries, while still welcoming families and groups for lunch or dinner.

Chef Renier Mendez and the kitchen team built the concept around Cuban comfort food with a creative, modern presentation, and recent reviews point to a new chef, Oscar, continuing that approach. Guests consistently highlight attentive servers, a varied menu with photos, and a warm welcome from ownership, though some mention that prices run high for the portions served.

With indoor and outdoor seating, free parking, and a full bar featuring cocktails and wine, it works well for a relaxed weekday lunch or a lively weekend dinner. It's rated 4.
